Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1.Is 6 months enough for JEE Main if I start now?
Yes, if you’re focused and consistent. Prioritize high-weight topics, practice daily, and take weekly full mocks. For many students a 6-month focused plan with 8–12 hours/day and weekly error analysis is enough to move percentile significantly.

2. How should I divide study time between board exams and JEE?
Early on, align topics (use NCERT for basics). Split study blocks (e.g., morning: boards/core concepts; afternoon/evening: JEE numericals). Track both sets of target goals weekly and use mock scores to rebalance priorities.

3.What’s the ideal mock-test frequency for a 6-month plan?
Start with 1 weekly mock in months 1–2, increase to 2–3 weekly mocks in months 3–4, and daily short/full mocks in months 5–6 while focusing heavily on analysis and error correction.

4.How do I fix weak topics fast?
Diagnose using mock analytics, then use targeted revision (concept notes + 20–50 practice problems) and immediate retest.

5.Do I need coaching for a 6-month push?
Not strictly necessary, but coaching (with personalized test series + error exams) often accelerates progress.
